So much fun! We went with our 24 year old son who has lived in London for 2 years so we were looking for something fun and different- and this did not disappoint. A great soundtrack, brilliant couple who entertain and pilot respectively combined with iconic landmarks made for a brilliant experience.

This was a great, easy tour with our 2 families of 4. The boat ride was fun and comfortable! Easy location to find right next to Tower of London. The tour operators were very friendly and welcoming. The one negative was that it felt short for the price we paid. It's about a 45 min tour and I would have liked to see and hear about a bit more.

Despite being very early in the season (British weather) and our party of 2 being the only people on board, the trip still ran as promised and we had an amazing time . Crew (driver and narrator) were very friendly and stopped at certain points to describe various interesting views and information. High speed thrills and some great music also . We will be back again in summer hopefully...

This was a great experience, loads of fun with really friendly few who couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed it. Very comfortable boat with shock absorbing seats too. The very best view of the Tower of London from the water too. We also crossed the Greenwich Meridian, pretty cool.

I can’t recommend this enough. My friend and our children had the best time speeding up the Thames. Super comfy seats, excellent tour guides and a fab experience.

What a nice activity to do with family and friends. We are a family of 5 with 3 children age 17, 11 and 9. We had a wonderful time, it was fun hitting the high speed zones on the Thames but also felt safe. Thank you Debbie for all the information you shared about London and landmarks we saw during the cruise.
